Nutri-Sport & Full Potential Tip -banded box squats
February 19, 2009 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Powering out of the bottom of a squatting position is important for both athletes and those just wanting to build muscle and strength. In athletics, getting the initial power to propel your body to whatever it is you are doing. In workouts, the bottom portion of the exercise is when you stimulate the most muscle fibers to optimize the effectiveness of the exercise (which is why people who don’t go deep on squats/leg press are losing a lot of benefit).
In this video, Nutri-Sport owner Ryan Irwin demonstrates an exercise that helps develop power in the squat at the Full Potential Training studio.

Big anniversary
February 16, 2009 by Ryan Irwin · Leave a Comment
Today (February 17th) marks the anniversary when I decided to get into the iron game and start bodybuilding. It’s been 17 years to be exact. In that time, I’ve added 67 pounds to my frame (started at 95lbs -same height), bench pressed 305 raw, deadlifted 535 raw, won the overall title at a bodybuilding competition, promoted many bodybuilding contests and have helped many individuals achieve their fitness goals.
I’m not listing this out by any means to brag or boast, as many people have done many very more impressive feats with less effort (i.e. a single parent raising his or her kids), but as an under-sized sophmore in high school, I set some goals and have continued to strive for them. There was a poster in my high school weight room with the word “dedication” on it. I looked at that thing every day and keep reminding myself that if I stayed dedicated, I would make progress!
Whatever your goals are (and you should have some set) stay dedicated, take it day by day and you will achieve them!!
Nutri-Sport and Full Potential Training tip of the week

The barbell curl is an excellent mass and strength builder for the biceps. One drawback of this exercise is that it can put added stress on the lower back.
In this video, Nutri-Sport Head Trainer Tasha demonstrates a variation of this exercise in the Full Potential Training studio that will still hit the biceps, but take some of the pressure off the lower back.
